The way emacs sets up the meta key is somewhat a mystery to me.
Here is the output on my machine from `xmodmap':
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)

What packages are we talking about? (You can use `dpkg -S' to match a
particular file to its package).
Some of the larger emacs packages has the .el files in separate
packages in order not to needlessly swamp the system. This includes
emacs itself.

I think there is a rather simple reason why .rpms are everywhere but
.debs isn't.
The rpm based distributions are so much smaller that important
functionality is missing, thus forcing many people to go and build
rpms for their favourite software. Since debian is so big, there is
very little softwa
I have been toying with the same idea (putting stuf like /etc) under
CVS control, though I haven't gotten round to become serious about it
yet.
My idea towards handling individual machine specifics would be to use
the branch system. If a certain file needed a specific change, branch

this is based on a mental image I have built for myself which may have
anywhere between 0 and 100 % resemblance to reality.
First note that X11 distinguishes between an applications *class* and
its *name*.

I have now my Zyxel Omni.net plus ISDN modem up and running. The
crucial informaton seemed to have comed from the Serial-programing
HOWTO and involves IRQ priorities. Enabling `irqtune' in
/etc/rc.boot/hwtools seems to have done the trick.
